“The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.”
King James Version (KJV)
21:33 Valley - Of the grave, which is low and deep like a valley. Sweet - He shall sweetly rest in his grave. Draw - Heb. he shall draw every man after him, into the grave, all that live after him, whether good or bad, shall follow him to the grave, shall die as he did. So he fares no worse herein than all mankind. He is figuratively said to draw them, because they come after him, as if they were drawn by his example.
The cloudes of the valley shalbe sweete vnto him, and euery man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.
